Running, Recipes, and Real life adventures!

I’ve lost it…

In the past several weeks, going on just over a month actually, I have lost my motivation to run. Between the MasterChef gig, and ITB issues, running has been on the back burner in my life since my last half marathon in late September.

So looking at the calendar with my last half marathon for 2014 steadily approaching NEXT weekend, I find myself terrified.

For the first time I am toying with a DNS (did not start) because I just have no motivation/desire to run this race. I can’t believe I am saying those words but they couldn’t be more true. My longest long run was last weekend with 9 miles ran at a super slow pace.

Pretty sure I will look a lot like this next Sunday…

But.

I paid for this race. I committed to run this race. So…I’ll run this race. Lord willing at least…

Hang in there Michelle!!! There is light at the end of the tunnel just stay the course. The last two years of my running following my debut marathon has been one big process of renewal. Try a change of venue or implement other forms of exercise that provide the same benefits as running. I break things up with spin classes. I have faith in you chica!!!

I have a sickness in regards to my competitive nature…and have never raced for fun. I plan on doing my marathon with that attitude next year, but halfs have always brought out my competitive side, LOL!!! Thanks, Char!

Welcome to my Blog!

My name is Michelle and I am a retired Air Force Master Sergeant. I have found a passion for running, cooking, writing, photography and all things that move my love for life! I've ran 3 full marathons, with a PR of 4:25, and 13 half marathons with a PR of 2:00:11 (yup-missed sub 2 by 11 seconds, lol). 2016 will be all about tackling the hard things and embracing the good things while my hubby is deployed overseas! Thanks for joining me on my journey!
